This fish is a hybrid. I never say that unless I'm sure and in this case I'm fairly sure. Wrong shape for blue orchid but the color and white crest somewhat match. The yellow Orange shoulder doesn't appear on a blue orchid. The mouth and slope of forehead is also different. Imho it shows traits of A. blue orchid and or A. yellow collar manzini reef as well as shape and slight color similarities to some stuartgranti variants possibly red shoulder. The size and shape of the mouth is very similar to S. Fryeri but I'm not going to say for sure either way, some stuartgranti also have similar mouths. Where did you get this fish? Was it labeled? Some people hate hybrids so much they would...eliminate his genes from the pool. I don't agree, I wouldn't breed them but some are cool and deserve a chance at life. I like him, one of my favs is a hybrid. Just be responsible and don't breed him.
